Peanut Coconut Chutney, Side dish for idli dosa

Peanut chutney recipe, also called as வேர்க்கடலை சட்னி in tamil, with coconut and green chili, recipe with video and step by step pictures. Those who closely follow Jeyashri's kitchen can relate to my love for peanuts. I add peanuts in Aviyal, bisibelabath too. I have posted 3 varieties of chutneys using peanuts. Peanut coconut chutney was in my to do list from last year. This time when i was thinking to make it, saw Ramya's post in Instagram and was too tempted to make it immediately. The idea of adding shallots |chinna vegayam in the tempering, tempted me so much. I used to do this for coconut chutney and mentioned in that post too. Do try this easy and yummy peanut coconut chutney and enjoy your idli | dosa | kuzhi paniyaram.

Method :

  • In a pan add 2 tsp oil and add in the peanuts and green chili.
  • Saute till the peanuts are cooked. 
  • Green chili can be added raw but sauting them in oil gives a nice flavour to the chutney.
  • You can replace it with red chili too.

  • Add water while grinding.
  • This peanut coconut chutney will take lot of water while we are grinding. I added 1.5 cups of water while grinding the chutney.
  • Transfer it to a bowl.. 
  • Add the onion mixture to the chutney. 
  • The crunchiness of the onions in the chutney enhances the taste.
  • Serve with idli or dosa or paniyaram. 
Notes:
  1. A clove of garlic can be added to the chutney while grinding it. 
  2. Green chilis can be replaced with red chili. 
  3. Raw peanuts can be ground along with their skin, no need to remove the skin for making the peanut coconut chutney.
